So who was it? Spider-Kid? Crusher Hogan? Irving Forbush??

So I wasn't the only one wondering. I could look it up at Sam Ruby, but I was hoping someone would spill the beans here.

 

[Themanofbat]

It was Uatu, the Watcher...

I kinda miss Sandman as a hero.

Personally I've always preferred Sandman as a villain.

He also recently appeared in the Captain America: Who WON'T weild the Shield one-shot...

Amazing Spidey also made a crack about Forbush Man in the recent Shattered Dimensions game.

It was something like: "I believe it was Gaertha who said 'He who jealously holds his fears secretly yearns to bring them about.' Either him, or Irving Forbush!"

This issue is, to me, what was the basis for the future clone saga. I remember when it was first unfolding, I remember thinking, "Hey, Pete never read that report! Wouldn't it be cool if it said HE were the clone!" I guess that's why I was never bent out of shape over it. Because I came to it on my own. I actually thought it was quite clever ( others obviously disagreed )

 

[Themanofbat]

Might have been better if they had resolved that fact within 2 years rather than 20 years later...
